Hamas commended Yemen's Houthis for their "comprehensive air blockade" of Israel, calling it a "heroic action" in a statement published on Telegram.

A spokesperson for the militant group stated that Yemen's "honorable stances reflect the authenticity of its people and the courage of its leadership," adding that "the Yemeni Armed Forces’ affirmation that a free Yemen will not accept the occupation’s violation of Arab lands, particularly in Lebanon and Syria, is a responsible affirmation of our shared destiny and the necessity of unifying efforts to confront the dangerous Zionist schemes targeting the entire nation."

Earlier, Houthi media announced that the group was imposing a "comprehensive aerial blockade" on Israel through repeated targeting of the country's airports in response to Israel's decision to intensify its campaign in Gaza.
